    Electric axial flow generator and vertical split-axis wind turbine comprising said generator
    5The present invention refers to an axial flow generator that is especiallyapplication to vertical wind turbines, and more especially to vertical wind turbineswith a split shaft, although the invention is not necessarily limited to said application. Theinvention also comprises a vertical split-axis wind turbine comprising
    10 said generator.
    Vertical axis (or VAWT) wind turbines have an essential technical feature that clearly differentiates them from horizontal axis (or HAWT) wind turbines by Horizontal Axis Wind.
    15 Turbine), this difference is that the rotation of the blades is carried out in the first with respect to a vertical axis.
    Vertical wind turbines intended to be placed in an existing structure, such as pole or mast, are known. WO2013178859 discloses a
    20 vertical axis wind turbine of the type comprising:
    - a set of blades around a central axis;
    - an electric power generator;
    25 the wind turbine comprising a rotor which, in turn, has a central axis and is coupled, both to the blades, and to the said electric power generator and said rotor having a central cavity intended to be occupied by a column. The central axis of the wind turbine crosses the central cavity of the rotor. The wind turbine rotor is divided into two parts defined by the intersection of the rotor a
    30 plane substantially parallel to the central axis of the wind turbine. That is, the rotor is composed of two removable parts so that they can be attached to an existing structure at an intermediate point thereof. This configuration in a certain number of removable parts is referred to herein as "split shaft". The rotor has an inner fixed part and a mobile outer part, presenting the outer face of the fixed part or the
    35 inner face of the moving part a tread (whose surface is essentially


    cylindrical) for wheels that allow relative displacement between the fixed part and the mobile part.
    The generator of document WO2013178859A is attached to the rotor in a perimeter zone through a gearbox, which causes mechanical losses and complicates the installation. The electric power generator is arranged so that its central axis does not pass through the central cavity of the rotor.
    Axial flow generators, commonly known as AFPM (Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Generator), are generators in which the magnetic field is parallel to the axis of rotation. On a constructive level, they are usually characterized by having two plates of magnets that generate an axial magnetic field. Between the two plates of magnets is a winding with a high density of turns and without ferritic core. The winding is fixed, and the plates of magnets that rotate around an axis, collinear with the axis of the winding. The relative displacement of the magnets on the coils generates an induced current on the winding.
    On a constructive level, two types of configurations for this type of generator are presented:
    - Winding attached to the generator shaft (stator) and magnet plates attached to the generator body (rotor). In this configuration, the generator shaft is fixed and the body rotates. - Winding attached to the generator body (stator) and magnet plates attached to the generator shaft (rotor). In this configuration, the generator shaft rotates and the body is fixed.
    The main characteristics of axial flow generators are the following:
    - Very compact generators - Alternate current generators - They are used for small powers - Generators suitable for high and low revolutions. The low revolutions allow a direct transmission from the generation system to the generator, without the need to incorporate reducers / multipliers. -Generators without “cogging” -High performance -No need external excitation-Modular manufacturing that allows integration into other mechanical components.


    These types of generators are mainly used for both vertical and horizontal axis wind turbines, with powers between 50 and 10,000 W.
    5 It is an object of the present invention to provide a solution to the losses and problemsof installation related to the connection between wind turbine and electric generator beforecited.
    For this, the present invention discloses an electric axial flow generator that
    10 comprises two plates of magnets between which a winding is placed that has relative movement capacity with the plates of magnets around an axis of rotation, in which:
    - the magnet plates are rings of magnets that have a ring shape 15 - the winding also has a ring shape,
    in such a way that the electric generator has a central hole for installation in an existing structure, the axis of rotation being in said hole
    20 yenelque
    - the plates of magnets present means of solidarity to an external structure, and
    - the winding presents means of solidarity to an external structure
    25 Preferably, there are no rolling elements between the magnet rings and the winding.
    Thanks to the present invention, the solidarity of the generator with the wind turbine is possible in such a way that the axis of rotation of the electric generator and the central axis of the
    30 wind turbines match. In addition, it is possible to use the wind turbine rolling system with the rolling device of the electric generator, solving the problem of adapting electric generators of known type to wind turbines, and especially vertical split-axis wind turbines of known type, without causing losses mechanical and without complicating the installation.


    The winding is fitted between the magnet plates, preferably with a minimum clearance to ensure maximum performance but also to absorb the axial and radial tolerances of the rolling system.
    5 In the case of AFPM electric generators hitherto known, the integration was notmade possible by the need to connect directly to a motor source shaft that does not existin vertical wind turbines adaptable to existing masts, since saidposition is occupied by the mast, without the need for transmission of movement to an axisparallel, as necessary according to the prior art. The configuration of the
    The invention also allows the elimination of the until now necessary rolling system of the electric generator, allowing the joint use of the rolling system of the wind turbine.
    By not incorporating its own rolling system, the generator set is fixed on the
    15 rolling system of the driving source, thus obtaining a direct transmission without intermediate elements or additional rolling elements, and therefore eliminating losses and maximizing the useful power extracted from the driving source.
    The present invention therefore discloses a solution that extends the range of application.
    20 known from the AFPMs and consisting of a hollow permanent magnet axial flow generator on the inside and without its own rolling system, in a configuration that is integrable to motor sources, mainly vertical axis wind turbines, that require the generator It is located perimeter around a support or axis.
    25 Preferably and to facilitate the installation of the assembly, each of the magnet rings and the winding is divided into two pieces. More preferably, each of the magnet rings and the winding is divided into two pieces.
    To further facilitate the installation of the assembly on the support, the plate assembly
    30 magnets and winding are independent, that is, they are separable from each other, and in turn both are split into two halves. This last feature allows a radial assembly of the assembly, greatly facilitating the installation tasks, unlike a hollow assembly without partition that would involve the assembly axially, being also not feasible in some installations.


    The partition of the double plate of magnets and the winding can be at angles other than 180 ° C.
    Therefore, the present invention discloses a permanent magnet generator of
    5 axial flow that is characterized by having a double plate of magnets and a winding both annular, both divided into two parts, preferably in half, to couple and integrate into existing axes to have the hollow central part.
    Preferably, each of the two parts of the winding has an output of
    10 independent cables, in such a way that the generator can work with one or two winding parts. In this way, the generator can work either with one part of the winding or with both.
    This feature allows two different power configurations using a half or 15 or two winding halves.
    For generation powers higher than those that can be achieved with two windings, there are two options. To increase the power by 50% to that which can be achieved with the two windings, the complete winding must be replaced by a complete one (½ 20 winding + ½ winding) with more winding density, keeping the two magnet plates. For powers greater than that obtainable with this winding, a generator assembly (set of magnet plates + winding, partial or complete) can be carried out stacked. With all these combinations, a full range of powers is achieved, only with 3 references of different components (½ magnet plate, ½ low coil
    25 density, ½ high density coil).
    The operation with two windings, gives the generator the characteristic of "fault tolerant", that is, in case of failure of one of the two halves of the generator fails, the other can work equally, even if the total power level of the generator will be reduced but
    30 in no case will it be unusable.
    Preferably, the winding comprises
    - a thinner area between magnets of both magnet rings
    35 -a perimeter zone of greater thickness of knotting of the coils, which has a thickness greater than the thickness of the area of less thickness,


    - a structural interior zone, located internally with respect to the area of smaller thickness and having a thickness greater than the area of smaller thickness.
    More preferably, the rings comprise two incoming ones for reception inside the perimeter zone of the winding.
    This winding section design ensures dimensional stability of the resin as well as greater dissipation of the central part.
    10 Preferably, the said means of solidarity of the magnet plates are located in the outermost part of the generator, while the means of solidarity of the winding are located in the inner zone, adjacent to the central hole.
    Also preferably, said means of solidarity comprise threaded holes and bolts.
    A preferred configuration of the generator object of the present invention is a configuration with 15 pairs of poles.
    20 Preferably, the magnet plates (magnet rings) have a positioning and centering system between them to ensure the correct arrangement and alignment of the assembly.
    Preferably, the winding has a positioning and centering system between them 25 to ensure the correct arrangement and alignment of the assembly.
    Each part of the winding preferably incorporates a sensor of Tª (temperature) to control at all times the Tª of the winding and to give the corresponding signal to the control system in case of exceeding the limit of Tª allowed.
    30 If necessary, the generator or its enclosure may have a heat dissipation system for the winding and the magnet plate.
    The generator object of the present invention will preferably be designed to be integrated in a split shaft wind turbine shown in WO2013178859A.


    The present invention also discloses a wind turbine comprising an electric generator according to the present invention.
    In a particularly preferred embodiment, said magnet rings are in solidarity with the rotor of the wind turbine and the winding is in solidarity with the stator of the wind turbine.
    Preferably, the wind turbine is a vertical axis wind turbine comprising a set of blades around a central shaft, the wind turbine comprising a rotor that,
    10, in turn, has a central axis and is coupled to both the blades and the electric generator and said rotor having a central cavity intended to be occupied by a column, such that the central axis of the wind turbine and the aforementioned axis Generator rotation are matching.
    More preferably, the wind turbine rotor is divided into two removable parts defined by the intersection of the rotor with a plane substantially parallel to the central axis of the wind turbine for joining the wind turbine to an existing structure at an intermediate point thereof.
    In particular, it is especially preferred that the wind turbine (with the exception of the electric generator) is one of the embodiments shown in WO2013178859A.

    Figure 9 is a sectional view according to a plane of radial symmetry of a split shaft wind turbine according to the present invention as well as a constructive cooling system solution for the magnet plate and for the winding.
    Figs. 1 to 9 show an exemplary embodiment of an axial flow generator according to the present invention.
    In these figures it can be seen how the axial flow generator -1-of the example is
    20 composed of an upper ring of magnets -2-and a lower ring of magnets -3-, between which a winding -4- is located, with an output of wires -5-winding and, where appropriate, probes of temperature. As can be seen, both the magnet rings -2-, -3- and the winding -4-in the example have a flat shape, resembling plates. The magnet rings -2-, -3-are placed one above the other following the axial direction, and the winding -4-se
    25 places, at least partially, between the magnet rings -2-, -3-.
    Both the magnet rings -2-, -3-and the winding -4-have a disk shape leaving a central hole -10- that will allow its placement in an existing structural, such as a mast. The magnet rings -2-, -3-of the example are in solidarity with each other by
    30 bolts -25-. The bolts -25-act as a positioning and centering system between rings -2-, -3-. The winding has at least one area located between both magnet rings, in a space defined by two incoming in the magnet rings -2-, -3-. Also, the winding -4-of the example has incoming zones -23-, -33-to receive magnets -21-, -31 of the magnet rings -2-, -3-. In the example, each ring of magnets -2-, -3-is
    35 composed of a structural zone -22-, -32-which gives the shape to the ring -2-, -3- and a zone of magnets -21-, -31-with a general cylindrical crown shape that is housed in an area


    incoming -43-of the winding -4-. In the example shown, all incoming zones -23-, -33-, -43-both of the magnet rings -2-, -3-and of the winding -4-have a circular crown shape.
    As can be seen, both the magnet rings -2-, -3- and the winding -4-in the example are each composed of two pieces, in this example the same and symmetrical, mountable and removable, which are intended to facilitate assembly of the generator in an existing mast, without the need to install the complete set by the upper part of the mast. In the figures the means of connection between the parts or halves, which may be of any type, have not been shown.
    An additional advantage of dividing the elements into two parts is that it can be installed
    or connect only one part of the winding -4-or the two parts, as seen in figure 7 (only one half of the winding -4-) and in figure 8 (both halves of the winding -4-) , each of the parts that make up the winding -4-presents its own cable output -5-independent.
    The winding is composed, mainly, of three main parts, a winding zone of smaller thickness -47-, which defines the recesses -46- that receive the magnets -21-, -31-of the magnet rings -2-, -3-, a perimeter zone -48-, more external, of coil knotting, of greater thickness than the area of smaller thickness -47- and an interior area -46-, also of greater thickness than the area of smaller thickness -47 -, for fixing to a mechanical part of the driving part (rotor or stator of the driving part). The inner zone can be divided into a structural zone -46 ’’, preferably metallic, for structural anchorage, to which a winding zone -46 ’’ is fixed, consisting mainly of a coil resine. The coil resin is formed by the aforementioned winding zone -46 ’’, area of smaller thickness -47- and perimeter zone -48-. It is convenient that there is a distance or gap -a-, -b-, -c-, -d-defined between the magnets -21-, -31- and the different zones -46-, -47-, -48-del winding -4-, to absorb possible eccentricities (in the radial direction) or variations in the axial direction.
    The arrangement shown of the coil knotting zone or perimeter zone -47-being thicker, provides dimensional stability to the winding assembly -4-. On the other hand, the minimum thickness of the area of smaller thickness -47-minimizes the heating and maximizes the cooling of the whole.


    In the example, the winding presents means of solidarity with the stator of a wind turbine, which in this case consist of threaded holes -49-located in its inner zone, that is, the one with the smallest radius. The magnet disks -2-, -3-also present means of solidarity to the rotor of a wind turbine. In this case, said means of solidarity consist of threaded holes -29-arranged circumferentially in the most perimeter zone of the magnet discs -2-, -3-, that is, in the area of greatest radius. The aforementioned threaded holes -29-of the example alternate with other threaded holes -28-destined to receive the connecting bolts -25-between magnet discs -2-, -3-. It is also possible that the wind turbine rotor and magnet discs -2-, -3- are combined with the same holes and bolts.
    The axial flow generator shown preferably lacks rolling elements between the moving part or rotor (in this case, the magnet rings -2-, -3-) and the fixed part or stator (in this case, the winding -4 -).
    An example of embodiment of a section according to a radial plane of symmetry of an embodiment of a wind turbine -100- according to the present invention is shown in FIG. The wind turbine shown is a wind turbine like any of the embodiments shown in WO2013178859A, with the exception of the electric generator and the connecting gears between wind turbine and electric generator. The content of these embodiments is to be considered incorporated by reference in the present description. For clarity, the blades have not been represented in the figure. Nor has a post located inside the hole -10- been represented. Therefore, the stator -101-located inside and the rotor -102-surrounding it is represented from the wind turbine. Although the tread band -103-between stator -101- and rotor -102- has been represented, although the wheel system that allows said tread has not been shown. Said system is described in said document WO2013178859A.
    As can be seen, the central hole of the wind turbine coincides with the central hole -100 of the generator -1-of axial flow.
    The magnet disks -2-, -3-are in solidarity with the rotor -102-of the wind turbine -100-through bolts and holes (not shown in the figures) and therefore, rotate with it. For its part, the winding -4-does not rotate with these, remaining either static, with independent union to the mast (not shown) or in solidarity with the stator -101-of the wind turbine -100-.


    In the example of figure 9 a cooling system -80-by convection for the winding has also been shown, in this case in the form of fins located in the area of smaller radius, and a convection cooling system -90-of the set of magnet rings on
    5 shape of outer fins. In this case, the cooling system -90-of the magnet rings -2-, -3- is located on the outside of the rotor, being connected to the magnet rings -2-, -3-through parts metallic preferably of high thermal conductivity.
    Although the invention has been described with respect to examples of preferred embodiments, these should not be considered as limiting the invention, which will be defined by the broader interpretation of the following claims.
